Field Visit (August 1974)
NR 440 692. This jetty, together with one at Lagg, was erected under the direction of the Commissioners for Highland Roads and Bridges, in 1809-10 in accordance with a plan and specification provided by James Hollinsworth, civil engineer at Crinan, modifying a design of 1806 by David Wilson. Both piers were intended primarily for drove-road traffic. The jetty is constructed of large blocks of local rubble and is of simple, round-ended plan, having a slipway on each side.
